The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has recently announced a delay in the rollout of the CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management portal (CARM) for trade chain partners, now scheduled for October 2024. This decision comes amidst ongoing uncertainties, particularly concerning potential strike actions by CBSA employees, who are currently in the process of voting on the matter.

While CARM remains set for internal launch on May 13, the adjustment in the timeline for trade chain partners is attributed to the need for cautious consideration amid the prevailing circumstances.

CARM, a digital initiative aimed at modernizing the collection of duties and taxes on goods imported into Canada, has seen significant preparation efforts from trade chain partners. Presently, approximately 71,500 importers are registered on the portal, representing over 92 percent of the total volume of imported goods into the country. Further insights into the CBSA's decision can be found in their recent news release.
